Help Stop Bill C-19 --keep The Right Of Choice And Private Property

[nick]

Bill C-19 is a brutal, obviously non-democratic law that the Provincial Conservatives are trying to implement. In a nutshell, it gives them (and in essence any of the business the government supports) the right and ultimate power to do whatever they want, wherever they want. Seriously. The bill will allow the Provincial government to send a notice to any landowner, with as little as one weeks notice, stating that their property has been selected as the location of a new development project (dam, pipeline, infrastructure, overpass, highway, water line, etc) and the owner needs to vacate. C-19 will allow the resident only SEVEN DAYS TO RESPOND AND MAKE A DEFENSE, FROM THE DATE THE NOTICE IS SENT. In other words, no ample time is given. The resident will have to comply with the government statement (with no chance to negotiate) or face two years in jail and heavy fines, all for believing in the right to hold some private property.

 

"Bill 19 is called the “LAND ASSEMBLY PROJECT AREA ACT”. It makes null and void the Expropriations Act and the Surface Rights Act — whenever private property is seized under Bill 19. Bill 19 eliminates all your rights under the Expropriations Act and all your rights to FAIR COMPENSATION provided by the Surface Rights Act. Bill 19 will only corrupt our government with unbridled power to take private property away from law-abiding citizens."

This is a step closer to a dictatorship, and no one, from any political affiliation, should support this proposal. It smacks of corruption and bribes
